A Tribute to Attention Whores

By lordshadow

You are not unique...
Everything you say has already been said
These tears you’ve shed and blood you’ve lost
Have all come at someone else’s cost

You are not a victim...
Don't bask in self-loathing as you lay in your bed
This bullshit you've fed insults every true poet
You're an attention whore and you fucking know it

You are not depressed...
There’s no voice but yours inside of your head
By a thread hangs their life, while yours swings away
Until you’ve repeated it all, and there’s no more to say

You are not a lost soul...
You’re just misinformed and misled
You wish you were dead but with each penny you throw
Someone else has made... it... so...

So just shut the fuck up.

    many people truly suffer from suicidal tendencies. there are those out there, and I'm not pointing anyone out specifically, that simply want the "poor baby" response and they should fucking rot in hell

    they are an insult and a slap in the face to those with real problems. I'm not saying my problems are any worse than anyone else's, all I'm saying is that they know who they are and they deserve nothing... especially not sympathy.

    They are the "my mom grounded me for a week because she heard me listening to marilyn manson and I want to fucking die" or the "whoa is me, I was called names in middle school". Life's rough, buy a fucking helmet.

  • A former member wrote: LMAO...I like that. Life's rough, buy a fucking helmet. I think that needs to be a slogan somewhere. lol Yeah, I know what you're saying. I know one too many of those.
